Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup rose water
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp melted butter
Optional Ingredients
- Pink food coloring (optional)
- 1 tbsp dried rose petals
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh strawberries (optional, for serving)
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined to ensure an even distribution of leavening agents.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, rose water, cracked egg, and melted butter. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until the batter is smooth and uniform, avoiding lumps.
- Color the Batter (Optional): If desired, add a drop of pink food coloring to the batter and gently stir to create a soft pastel pink hue that highlights the floral theme.
- Heat Pan: Preheat a non-stick or lightly greased skillet over medium heat. This helps to cook the pancakes evenly and prevents sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour small amounts of batter onto the heated pan to form individual pancakes. Cook until bubbles start forming and bursting on the surface, then carefully flip to cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and sprinkle dried rose petals on top for a beautiful and elegant presentation.
- Optional Serving Suggestions: Serve with fresh strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream on the side to enhance the flavor and add visual appeal.
Notes
- Rose water adds a delicate floral flavor; choose high-quality rose water for best results.
- Adjust the amount of rose water based on your preference, but do not exceed ½ cup to maintain the batter consistency.
- Pink food coloring is optional and purely for aesthetic appeal.
- Use a non-stick skillet or lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking and achieve a nice golden crust.
- For a fluffier texture, avoid overmixing the batter once wet and dry ingredients are combined.
- Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a pan or microwave.
